Airworthiness Directive 2002-24-08
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Cirrus Design Corporation Models SR20 and SR22 Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002- 05-05, which currently applies to certain Cirrus Design Corporation (Cirrus) Models SR20 and SR22 airplanes. AD 2002-05-05 currently requires you to incorporate temporary operating limitations into the Limitation Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) for certain affected airplanes and install a cable clamp external to the cone adapter on the Cirrus Airplane Parachute System (CAPS) activation cable for all affected airplanes. AD 2002-05-05 resulted from a report from the manufacturer that certain CAPS may not activate in an emergency situation. This AD is the result of the manufacturer redesigning the CAPS activation system. This AD requires you to modify the CAPS activation system. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the CAPS activation system in an emergency situation. Failure of this system could result in occupant injury and/ or loss of life and loss of aircraft.
Which aircraft AD 2002-24-08 applies to
Specific model/serial applicability is in paragraph (a), not captured in the extracted text; actions per Cirrus SBs SB 20-95-03/04/05 (incl. Rev 1) and SB 22-95-03/04/05 (incl. Rev 1) — the 20-/22- SB prefixes correspond to the SR20/SR22 lines by Cirrus convention, though not explicitly named in the captured text; supersedes AD 2002-05-05, Amendment 39-12673.
Whether AD 2002-24-08 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
